Serves 4
Takes 30 minutes

Ingredients:

200g pasta
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
400g mixed mushrooms, roughly chopped
300g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2cm lengths
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-fat ricotta
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp chilli flakes
Pepper, to taste

Method:

  1. Cook pasta per packet directions (be mindful not to over-cook it, aim for al dente texture!). Reserve ½ cup cooking water before draining. Set aside in cold water.
  2. Add the olive oil to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, a little pepper to taste, and sauté until they’re tender and lightly browned.
  3. Add the asparagus, garlic, paprika and chilli, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. 
  4. Add the wine and cook for a further 2 minutes until absorbed.
  5. Add the drained pasta and ½ cup cooking water, ricotta and lemon juice, reduce heat to medium and toss to combine everything for 2 minutes. Season with pepper. Serve with parmesan.
